"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Ok, but did they have to use Trump's "superintelligence" pet word in a sentence?

[–] MalReynolds@piefed.social 1 points 4 minutes ago

ASI (artificial super [as in beyond human] intelligence) has been a research (and SciFi) topic for decades. Check out 'Person of Interest'for an easily accessible and somewhat prescient (in places) version.

The tech bros redefined the language to their advantage. LLMs barely pass the Turing test (but they do, in certain circumstances, where predicting the next word works)

Cheeto in Chief has no clue and a criminally uneducated populace (democracy requires education), even first pat the post.

Actual ASI is probably at least one and likely a few significant AI theory advancements away (but not that many years), and then it can self improve, which is the scary thing. The last thing we want is psycho/sociopaths in guiding that transition.

That's not what they did. "Artificial Superintelligence" is something the AI executives have been talking about. "Super Intelligence" is Trump's term for Artificial Intelligence because somehow an LLM appearing to be intelligent makes it not "artificial" in his mind.

I think the bigger problem is them using the fascist echo chamber, Twitter.

I thought "artificial superintelligence" (ASI) is just another way to say AGI, rather than specifically Trump's forced buzzword.

It’s actually 3 things: agi is “like an average human”, asi is the self improving entity that is basically a god, and there’s normal ai (different kinds, most people only know LLMs/genai). Trump was so enamoured by the chatbot that he thinks it is super intelligent, hence the si.
